Logitech G35 7.1-Channel Surround Sound Headset Review

Great headset. I downloaded and installed the most recent Windows 7 x64 drivers from Logitech’s website before I plugged in the headset. I have had the headset for about one week. I have really enjoyed the headset. I wouldn’t consider myself an audiophile or perfectionist when it comes to audio because I have some hearing loss. But I really love the (virtual) surround sound that the G35 provides. It makes playing games great. I have also enjoyed using the headphones for listening to music and watching shows.

So, I only have a couple of marks against the headset. First, I wish that the shortcut “G” keys would allow you to do more with them. By default for me they were all set to open iTunes. That may be because iTunes was the only music player software I have installed out of its list, which is a very limited list. My default audio player on my computer is Zune Player, which is not in the list.

Second, the headset requires the G35 software to run at all times. Though it’s not a big deal and is understandable that it needs software running to virtualize the surround sound, this means I have 3 Logitech software items running at all times (G15 keyboard has LCD Manager and G-Key Profiler). If I had SetPoint running for my Logitech mouse that would be 4 things. Logitech makes great keyboards, mice, and now I know a great headset, but they really could use some work in the software department.

tl;dr This is a great headset, and most everyone will enjoy it. It does work with Windows 7 and 64-bit. My only real gripes deal with Logitech’s software and its limitations.

I am absolutely happy with my purchase! – Corey Faure –
I ordered one of the refurbished headsets for about 70 bucks, and the headset works perfect! I can hardly hear anything outside of the headsets. The microphone and sound have great quality. The built in voice changing features of the drivers are funny, but they do not include general “Man to Woman” or “Woman to Man” voice changing presets, but that’s alright. I’ll have plenty of fun sounding like a squirrel or a monster at the touch of the built in buttons. What’s also nice is a built in surround sound switch, which is really handy if you just want to listen to music as it usually sounds with stereo sound(switch it off). Also, you don’t need a sound card with this headset, as it’s only wire is USB. That was a real nice touch, as my card only supports 5.1 channel sound, but I still get full surround with the headset. It’s light enough so that you hardly know it’s there. Very comfortable, it has a pad on the top, and the ear pads fit really nice. Though, I’m only 14, I’m not quite sure how it would fit on fully grown ears.

I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a headset!

Great Product – Art –
I would not have considered Logitech for Headphones, but I am glad I did.

I would recommend these to anyone.

Not Win7 Compatible – Paul –
The quality of these physically are good and the sound and headphone surround are as good as any, but flaky drivers for windows 7 64bit and poor/unknowledgeable Logitech support knock my rating down to a 2.
